The geysers in question are the bottom geysers of the 5 o'clock gold & the base behind that | ||

So if you play terran and you build a refinery your scv can get stuck behind the refinery when it gets it's first barrel of gas, leaving you with no option but to either medvac it out or to give it a honorable death. The geysers in question are the bottom geysers of the 5 o'clock gold & the base behind that Maybe that's a balance feature  The two player map looks really interesting too. There's not really a map like that in the map pool at the moment, it would be interesting to see how games turn out. | ||

I'm not sure everyone using different custom maps is a very good idea... Cause i believe the plan is for ESL to test the waters with custom maps and ICCup maps are way more know in EU than the gsl ones. If this works out i bet we will have some ESL specific maps (hopefully designed by Iccup mapmaking team) eg. ESL Take'sCouch. If you want to make a brand you dont use the ideas of competition. You want your own brand. Imagine ESL guys talking to sponsors: ESL:"We have a successful SC2 leagu and cups and we even have special custom maps for them" Sponsor:"Thats nice but why that map has a writting "Made by Greetech for GSL use"? ESL:"..." | ||

The geysers in question are the bottom geysers of the 5 o'clock gold & the base behind that Thanks for pointing that. I fixed the problem at the gold expo. However, i didn't see any issue in the base behind the gold at 5 o'clock, but i put some blockers behind the gas in case if it not happens in every game. | ||

We've seen tons of changes already. Most of the time u tell an ICCUP guy "Hey there is an issue with this spot, tanks can.... blawblaw" and the mapmaker is most of the time fixing the issue within hours. GSL maps are difficult to influence, also I believe it is good for the western community to have an own system and to be not THAT dependent on the korean community (which might be slower anyway due to the lower popularity) | ||

But innovation and new maps that provides more balance is always good. Two sides of the coin I guess =) | ||

Although I'm sceptical about the second map's balance, I'm not worried at all because if balance issues come up I'm 100% sure they will either replace the map or fix it. Was Pawn Re chosen because they wanted a bigger and a smaller map? | ||

Pawn was a map used in the MotM tournement.....close second,I assure you its been through enough balance changes to become this good. | ||
